Biography
I am a Senior Lecturer in International Relations and Diplomacy, I oversee the academic delivery and management of this specialist course and provide students with varied learning experience through which they develop necessary skills and training required for a career in international politics and diplomacy. I run study visits to a number of international institutions such as the United Nations Office in Geneva (UNOG), the European Parliament in Brussels, where students learn about key functions of international political institutions and the role these institutions play in promoting democracy, world peace, political stability and development around the world. I coordinate work-based learning for all International Relations and Diplomacy students through external opportunities for internships and vocational training.
Research Interest
My current research interests include terrorism and global security. I am particularly interested in the political economy of violence with regards to the rise of state and non-state armed groups.
